The health of Romo’s back has been a question all training camp and is surely going to continue throughout the season. He has been on a limited practice schedule, something that is viewed as more managing the back than any residual effects.

That played a part in giving him Monday off.

“The idea was to give him the opportunity, in a light practice, to collect himself and take the day off,” coach Jason Garrett said.

Romo will have plenty of time to rest, as his next game action won’t come until the season opener against San Francisco on Sept. 7.
